Several years ago I had a close friend who had had breast cancer. Seven years, almost to the day, when she was reaching the point of the doctors declaring her cured, she found out that it had progressed to bone cancer.

Sherry was an exceptional friend and co-worker. She was remarkable; always with a smile on her face and a special ear for listening to anyone’s problems. She continued to work as a research nurse at Emory until her illness took too much of her strength.
